Wales face Montenegro in an exciting UEFA Nations League clash with both teams looking for a positive result. Wales, under Craig Bellamy’s management, will aim to build on their unbeaten start in League B Group 4. Having drawn 2-2 with Iceland in their previous outing, they will be keen to secure maximum points.
Montenegro, however, face a steep challenge as they sit at the bottom of the group, with no points so far and relegation looming. Montenegro have endured a difficult campaign, losing all three of their group matches, including a 1-0 defeat to Turkey in their last game. Robert Prosinecki’s side have struggled for goals and form, with captain Stevan Jovetić and Lecce’s Nikola Krstović shouldering the attacking burden.
Wales Predicted Lineup
Wales will be without key players such as Brennan Johnson and Jordan James, both suspended. Injuries also rule out Ethan Ampadu, Dan James, and Aaron Ramsey, forcing Bellamy to reshuffle his side. Joe Allen, who recently reversed his international retirement, could return to the starting lineup in James’ absence.
Kieffer Moore is expected to lead the attack, supported by Harry Wilson, who has been in excellent form for the national team. Wilson’s creativity will be essential in unlocking Montenegro’s defence.
David Brooks and Josh Sheehan may also feature, while Danny Ward will continue in goal. Defensively, Joe Rodon, Ben Davies, and Connor Roberts are likely to retain their places.
Ward; Roberts, Rodon, Davies, Williams; Sheehan, Cooper; Burns, Wilson, Thomas; Moore
Here is how the side last lined up
Montenegro are expected to keep faith with their front pairing of captain Stevan Jovetić and Nikola Krstović, despite their goal-scoring woes.
Stefan Savic remains unavailable through injury, meaning the defensive responsibilities will fall to Marko Vujačić and Igor Vujačić.
In midfield, Vladimir Jovović and Aleksandar Šćekić will look to provide stability and creativity.
Mijatovic; Marusic, Vujacic,…
